Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 434-436 Funston Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1920, currently owned by Toddy T. Wong and Lily Ng. The building has undergone several notable maintenance and infrastructure upgrades over the years, most significantly in 2006 when there was an attempt to repair the second unit's exit stairs in the south side lightwell area, a project valued at $5,000, though this permit ultimately expired. Earlier permits from 2002 show successful completion of an underground electrical service conversion to a 100-amp system with two meters, indicating a substantial electrical infrastructure upgrade.

The property and its immediate surroundings have experienced various municipal maintenance issues in recent years, with eight 311 calls related to street cleaning, garbage, and debris reported between 2022 and 2024. These include both resolved cases and one open general cleaning complaint from August 2023. The area has faced challenges with encampments, as evidenced by multiple reports in 2022 and one in July 2024, though several of these cases were either found to be invalid or the individuals could not be located. Other neighborhood incidents documented include the removal of an abandoned vehicle in September 2023 and the resolution of a damaged fallen tree in June 2023. While these external issues reflect more on the neighborhood than the building itself, they do provide context about the immediate environment around the property.

Risk rating

How 434-436 Funston Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
